Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 20 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Cupcake:
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dutch processed cocoa, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2/3 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two muffin pans with paper liners and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, butter, and oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract, buttermilk, zucchini, and chocolate chips. 3. In a separate large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients and mix until well combined. Spoon batter into large muffin pans, filling them about 3/4 the way full. Bake in the center of the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack, while you make the frosting. To make the frosting: 1. Melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Store cupcakes at room temperature in an air tight container. * Note-the frosting makes about 2 cups, you might have a little extra.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I'm so glad I did! The cupcakes were moist and flavorful, and the frosting was delicious. I will definitely be making these again!

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The cupcakes are moist and fluffy, and the frosting is rich and creamy. I love that I can sneak some veggies into my kids without them even noticing.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used half the amount of sugar in the frosting, and they were still plenty sweet. My family loved them!

Meh, not impressed. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making these again.

Easy to make and oh so delicious! The combination of chocolate and zucchini is a winner. I added a dollop of whipped cream on top, and it was the perfect touch. Highly recommend this recipe!
